Cade Christie

Cade Allan Christie, age 25, of Manila, died Friday Nov. 16, 2012, near Manila, from injuries received in an auto accident. Born at Paragould, he was a 2006 graduate of Manila High School, had lived much of his life in Manila, and was a member of the First United Methodist Church. Cade recently completed his training as an Emergency Medical Technician at Arkansas Northeast College in Paragould. He loved to play guitar and recently recorded an album with the band "Fates Undertaking." Cade was a big man with a big heart. He had a warm kindness for people and children in need. Cade was often teased by friends and family for working out, and he loved football, movies, and going mudding after a rain. He leaves many friends that will miss him dearly as he could always bring a smile on a bad day.

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Jack Christie.
